Dosage and Administration

openFDA Drug Labeling

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION See full prescribing information for information on preparation, administration, instructions for use, dosing considerations, including the recommended dosage in adults and pediatrics, and dosage modifications in patients with kidney disease. ( 2.1 , 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 , 2.5 , 2.6 , 2.7 , 2.8 ) 2.1 Preparation Prior to Administration • CLINIMIX is available in a three port container configuration and a two port container configuration. o Three Port Container : the ports consist of one medication port, one additive port and one outlet port. Additives can be introduced to the container through the medication port and lipids through the additive port on the three port container. o Two Port Container : the ports consist of one medication port and one outlet port. Additives, including lipids, can be introduced to the container through the medication port on the two port container. • Tear protective overwrap at slit and remove solution container. Small amounts of moisture may be found on the solution container from water permeating from inside the container. The amount of permeated water is insufficient to affect the solution significantly. If larger amounts of water are found, the container should be checked for tears or leaks. • Inspect the container prior to activation. Some opacity of the plastic due to moisture absorption during the sterilization process may be observed. This is normal and does not affect the solution quality or safety. The opacity will diminish gradually. Evaluate the following: o If the outlet or additive port protectors are damaged, detached, or not present, discard container as solution path sterility may be impaired. o Check to ensure seal between chambers is intact, solutions are contained in separate chambers, and the content of the individual chambers is clear, colorless or slightly yellow. Discard if the seal is broken or if the solution is bright yellow or yellowish brown. o Check for minute leaks by separately squeezing each chamber. If external leaks or leakage between the chambers are found, discard solution as sterility or stability may be impaired. • Lipids and/or additives can be introduced to the container after opening seal between chambers. Because additives may be incompatible, evaluate all additions to the plastic container for compatibility. Activate chambers of container prior to introduction of additives. Mix thoroughly when additives have been introduced. Supplemental medication may be added with a 19 to 22 gauge needle through the medication port. • Calcium and phosphate ratios must be considered. Excess addition of calcium and phosphate, especially in the form of mineral salts, may result in the formation of calcium phosphate precipitates [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . • Inspect the container to ensure precipitates have not formed during the mixing or addition of additives. A slight yellow color does not alter the quality and efficacy of this product. If lipid has been added, ensure the emulsion has not separated. Separation of the emulsion can be visibly identified by a yellowish streaking or the accumulation of yellowish droplets in the mixed emulsion. Discard the admixture if any of the above are observed. 2.2 Important Administration Instructions • Set the vent to the closed position on a vented intravenous administration set to prevent air embolism. • Use a dedicated line without any connections to avoid air embolism. • CLINIMIX is for intravenous infusion only into a central or peripheral vein. The choice of a central or peripheral venous route should depend on the osmolarity of the final infusate. Solutions with osmolarity of 900 mOsm/L or greater must be infused through a central catheter [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] . o For central vein infusion only: CLINIMIX 4.25/10, 5/15, 5/20, 8/10, 8/14 o For central or peripheral vein infusion: CLINIMIX 4.25/5, 6/5 • The solution should be inspected for precipitates before admixing, after admix …

Contraindications

openFDA Drug Labeling

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS The use of CLINIMIX is contraindicated in: • Patients with known hypersensitivity to one or more amino acids or dextrose [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . • Patients with inborn errors of amino acid metabolism due to risk of severe metabolic and neurologic complications. • Patients with pulmonary edema or acidosis due to low cardiac output. • Known hypersensitivity to one or more amino acids or dextrose. ( 4) • Inborn errors of amino acid metabolism. ( 4 ) • Patients with pulmonary edema or acidosis due to low cardiac output. ( 4 )

Warnings and Cautions

openFDA Drug Labeling

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Pulmonary Embolism due to Pulmonary Vascular Precipitates : if signs of pulmonary distress occur, stop the infusion and initiate a medical evaluation. ( 5.1 ) • Hypersensitivity Reactions : monitor for signs and symptoms and discontinue infusion if reactions occur. ( 5.2 ) • Risk of Infections, Refeeding Complications, and Hyperglycemia or Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic State : monitor for signs and symptoms; monitor laboratory parameters. ( 5.3 , 5.4 , 5.5 ) • Vein Damage and Thrombosis : solutions with osmolarity of ≥ 900 mOsm/L must be infused through a central catheter. ( 2.2 , 5.6 ) • Hepatobiliary Disorders : monitor liver function parameters and ammonia levels. ( 5.7 ) • Aluminum Toxicity : increased risk in patients with impaired kidney function, including preterm infants. ( 5.8 , 8.4 ) • Parenteral Nutrition Associated Liver Disease : increased risk in patients who receive parenteral nutrition for extended periods of time, especially preterm infants; monitor liver function tests, if abnormalities occur consider discontinuation or dosage reduction. ( 5.9 , 8.4 ) • Electrolyte Imbalance and Fluid Overload : patients with cardiac insufficiency or kidney disease may require adjustment of fluid, protein and electrolyte content. ( 5.10 , 8.4 ) 5.1 Pulmonary Embolism due to Pulmonary Vascular Precipitates Pulmonary vascular precipitates causing pulmonary vascular emboli and pulmonary distress have been reported in patients receiving parenteral nutrition. In some cases, fatal outcomes due to pulmonary embolism have occurred. CLINIMIX contains no added phosphorus. Patients, especially those with hypophosphatemia, may require the addition of phosphate. To prevent hypocalcemia, calcium supplementation should always accompany phosphate administration. Excessive addition of calcium and phosphate increases the risk of the formation of calcium phosphate precipitates. Precipitates have been reported even in the absence of phosphate salt in the solution. Precipitation following passage through an in-line filter and suspected in vivo precipitate formation has also been reported. If signs of pulmonary distress occur, stop the infusion and initiate a medical evaluation. In addition to inspection of the solution [see Dosage and Administration (2.1 , 2.2 , 2.3 , 2.4 )] , the infusion set and catheter should also periodically be checked for precipitates. 5.2 Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity/infusion reactions including anaphylaxis have been reported with CLINIMIX. Stop infusion immediately and treat patient accordingly if any signs or symptoms of a hypersensitivity reaction develop. Signs or symptoms may include: hypotension, hypertension, peripheral cyanosis, tachycardia, dyspnea, vomiting, nausea, urticaria, rash, pruritus, erythema, hyperhidrosis, pyrexia, and chills. 5.3 Risk of Infections Patients who require parenteral nutrition are at high risk of infections because the nutritional components of these solutions can support microbial growth. Infection and sepsis may also occur as a result of the use of intravenous catheters to administer parenteral nutrition. The risk of infection is increased in patients with malnutrition-associated immunosuppression, hyperglycemia exacerbated by dextrose infusion, long-term use and poor maintenance of intravenous catheters, or immunosuppressive effects of other concomitant conditions, drugs, or other components of the parenteral formulation (e.g., lipid emulsion). To decrease the risk of infection, ensure aseptic technique in catheter placement and maintenance, as well as aseptic technique in the preparation and administration of the nutritional formula. Monitor for signs and symptoms (including fever and chills) of early infections, including laboratory test results (including leukocytosis and hyperglycemia) and frequent checks of the parenteral access device and insertion site for edema, redness and discharge. 5.4 Refeeding Syndrome Refeeding severely undernouri …

Adverse Reactions

openFDA Drug Labeling

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following serious adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the prescribing information. • Pulmonary embolism due to pulmonary vascular precipitates [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] • Hypersensitivity reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • Risk of Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] • Refeeding syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] • Hyperglycemia or hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] • Vein damage and thrombosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] • Hepatobiliary disorders [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] • Parenteral Nutrition Associated Liver Disease [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9) ] • Electrolyte imbalance and fluid overload [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) ] The following adverse reactions from voluntary reports or clinical studies have been reported with CLINIMIX. Because many of these reactions were reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. • Diuresis • Extravasation • Glycosuria • Hyperglycemia • Hyperosmolar coma Adverse reactions include diuresis, extravasation, glycosuria, hyperglycemia, and hyperosmolar coma.

Use in Specific Populations

openFDA Drug Labeling

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pediatric Use : increased risk of hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia: monitor serum glucose concentrations. ( 8.4 ) 8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate or well-controlled studies in pregnant women with CLINIMIX. Additionally, animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with amino acids and electrolytes and dextrose. It is not known whether CLINIMIX can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. However, the estimated background risk in the U.S. general population of major birth defects is 2 to 4% and of miscarriage is 15 to 20% of clinically recognized pregnancies. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo-Fetal Risk Based on clinical practice guidelines, parenteral nutrition should be considered in cases of severe maternal malnutrition where nutritional requirements cannot be fulfilled by the enteral route because of the risks to the fetus associated with severe malnutrition, such as preterm delivery, low birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction, congenital malformations and perinatal mortality. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary It is not known whether CLINIMIX is present in human milk. There are no data on the effects of CLINIMIX on the breastfed infant or on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for CLINIMIX and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from CLINIMIX or from the underlying maternal condition. 8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness of CLINIMIX in pediatric patients have not been established by adequate and well-controlled studies. Use of dextrose, amino acid infusions and electrolytes in pediatric patients is based on clinical practice [see Dosage and Administration (2.8) ] . Newborns, especially those born premature and with low birth weight, are at increased risk of developing hypo – or hyperglycemia and therefore need close monitoring during treatment with intravenous glucose solutions to ensure adequate glycemic control in order to avoid potential long term adverse effects. Hypoglycemia in the newborn can cause prolonged seizures, coma and brain damage. Hyperglycemia has been associated with intraventricular hemorrhage, late onset bacterial and fungal infection, retinopathy of prematurity, necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, prolonged length of hospital stay, and death. Plasma electrolyte concentrations should be closely monitored in the pediatric population as this population may have impaired ability to regulate fluids and electrolytes. Because of immature renal function, preterm infants receiving prolonged treatment with CLINIMIX may be at risk of aluminum toxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8) ] . Patients, including pediatric patients, may be at risk for Parenteral Nutrition Associated Liver Disease (PNALD) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.9) ] . Hyperammonemia is of special significance in infants (birth to two years). This reaction appears to be related to a deficiency of the urea cycle amino acids of genetic or product origin. It is essential that blood ammonia be measured frequently in infants [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] . 8.5 Geriatric Use Clinical studies of CLINIMIX did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from other younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or drug therapy.

Mechanism of Action

openFDA Drug Labeling

12.1 Mechanism of Action CLINIMIX is used as a supplement of nutrition in patients, providing macronutrients (amino acids and dextrose) parenterally. The amino acids provide the structural units that make up proteins and are used to synthesize proteins and other biomolecules or are oxidized to urea and carbon dioxide as a source of energy. The administered dextrose is oxidized to carbon dioxide and water, yielding energy.

Description

openFDA Drug Labeling

11 DESCRIPTION CLINIMIX sulfite-free (amino acids in dextrose) injection for intravenous use consists of sterile, nonpyrogenic, hypertonic solutions in a dual chamber container.
